Notes - Also called Nigel. "Nele d'Aubigny [...] from the early part of Henry I's reign one of the most frequent members of the King's entourage. After the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 the King granted him the English lands of Robert de Stuteville, a supporter of Robert Curthose. During the Norman rebellion of 1119 Nele, with his brother William, remained faithful to Henry I and fought for him at the victory over the French King at Bremule on 20 Aug. In 1123, with Robert the King's son, he was in command of the forces of the Cotentin at the taking of the castle of Montfort-sur-Risle. At some date unknown he had a grant of Montbrai and the other forfeited lands in Normandy of Robert de Mowbray (Montbrai), Earl of Northumberland whose former wife he married. He held Bazoches-au-Houlme of the Count of Eu, and Masham, Yorks, of Count Stephen of Brittany, the lord of Richmond. He founded the priory of Hurst in Axholme, Lines, as a cell of Nostell, and gave Aldburgh, near Masham, Yorks, to Pontigny." [Complete Peerage]
His first wife, married sometime after 1107, was Maud, daughter of Richer de l'Aigle, who had been married to Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, a marriage which was annulled on grounds of consanguinity. He afterwards repudiated Maud and married Gundred de Gournay, who was in fact (albeit counterintuitively) the mother of his son Robert de Mowbray, as well as his other children.
